So much lies within me,
Untouched by the flame
Of passion You can ignite
Without a second thought.
I don’t know how I can go on
Living like a hypocrite,
Falling out of sight
Without hesitation.
How can I endure this -
Such daunting tasks
While just a flicker
Dies within me?
I can’t stand up from my knees
Nor can I speak the truth
When I don’t live it
In its entirety.
Lord, help me to be
Who You’re calling me to be
Without regard for the world
That surrounds me.
Take me in,
Clean me out,
Set my feet upon the rock,
Wash me in Your blood,
Break down my walls with
Your mighty hand…
Please, O God
Hear the plea
Inside the prison
Of my heart.
